IND vs NZ T20 Series: The last match of the five-match T20 series played between India and New Zealand became special in the history of Indian cricket. In this match played at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram, Team India not only won by 46 runs but also made a record on the basis of batting, which was not seen before in any bilateral T20 series.
Batsmen opened the box of sixes
After winning the toss, the Indian team came to bat first and adopted an aggressive stance from the beginning. From opening till the finish, the Indian batsmen did not give any chance to the New Zealand bowlers to recover. Ishan Kishan had made his intentions clear in this match. He scored 103 runs in just 43 balls and broke the back of the Kiwi bowlers.
Apart from him, Abhishek Sharma also made important contribution. Whereas captain Suryakumar Yadav increased the run pace in the middle overs and scored 63 runs in 30 balls. In the end, Hardik Pandya played a brilliant inning of 42 runs in 17 balls and put a huge score of 271 runs on the board.
23 sixes in one match, record broken in the entire series
In this match, Team India hit a flurry of sixes. Indian batsmen together hit a total of 23 sixes. Of these, Ishan Kishan alone had hit 10 sixes. However, the real story was not limited to just one match. Indian batsmen hit a total of 69 sixes in the entire series.
This is the most number of sixes hit by a team in any bilateral T20 International series. Earlier this record was of 64 sixes, which was recorded in the names of England and Australia. Leaving this figure behind, India has set a new benchmark.
Strong win with big score
The score of 271 runs was India’s third highest score in T20 International. Chasing such a big target, the New Zealand team appeared to be under pressure. Finn Allen definitely played a quick inning of 80 runs in 38 balls, but the rest of the batsmen could not make much contribution.
Indian bowlers strengthened their hold on the match by taking wickets in the middle overs and ultimately India won the match by 46 runs. With this victory, Team India won the series 4-1.
Big message before T20 World Cup
India’s aggressive batting in this series has clearly indicated that the team is in full form before the T20 World Cup. This storm of sixes not only broke records but also gave a strong warning to the opposing teams.
